I received a letter from our local department of education asking for the birthdays of all of my children because they need it this year because the paper work has changed. Is this required? I don’t want to give more information that isn’t needed but am fine with giving it if it is required. Would appreciate your advise. Here is the letter received.

Thank you for your question. You are not required to provide the birthdates of your children. The law has not changed in this regard. Thank you for standing with us in not providing more information than the law requires. You can read more information and Scott Woodruff's explanations, at this link on the HOME website. https://www.homeschoolersofmaine.org/the-law/letters-of-intent/using-doe-forms/
